Edible and Poisonous Fungi of the Smokies

The Smoky Mountains are world-renowned for mushrooms and home to more than 2,000 species. Here’s a chance to learn about the many kinds of mushrooms and how to identify them by size, shape, and color. We’ll take short hikes and through these field explorations, learn about the habitats for mushrooms, toxicology, and the association between fungi and tree roots. The workshop is designed for beginners, but veterans also learn something.
